Important information

• Treat yourself to wet lather shaves for at least three



WET/DRY shaver requires a little time to get used to

because your skin and beard need about a month to

adjust to any new shaving method.

• Keep both the inner blades inserted. If only one of the

inner blades is inserted, the shaver may be damaged.

• If you clean the shaver with water, do not use salt

water or hot water. Do not soak the shaver in water for

a long period of time.

•

Charge the appliance correctly according to these Operating

Instructions. (See page 11 "Charging the shaver".)

• This appliance contains battery that is only

replaceable by skilled persons. Please contact an

authorized service centre for the details of repair.

Note the following precautions

When using

• Do not bring the system outer foil into contact with

hard objects.

Doing so may damage the system outer foil as it is

very thin and deforms easily.

• Do not drop or hit against other objects.

Doing so may cause injury.

When storing

• Store the shaver in a place with low humidity after

use.

Failure to do so may cause malfunction due to

condensation or rust.

10

English

• Be sure to place the protective cap on the shaver

when carrying around or storing.

Failure to do so may cause injury to skin or reduce the

life of the system outer foil.

When cleaning

• Do not dry using heat from a dryer or other appliance.

Doing so may cause malfunction or deformation of the

parts.

• Do not leave the shaver exposed to direct sunlight

with the foil frame detached.

Doing so may deteriorate the waterproof rubber and

degrade waterproof function, which may cause to

malfunction.

thickness, will operate.

It will shave with high power on

areas where the beard is heavy,

and reduce the power on areas

where the beard is thin, to reduce

burden on the skin.

Tips for better shaving

Apply the whole system outer foil

perpendicularly against the skin

and shave by slowly gliding the

shaver over the face against the

grain of the beard.

• The beard under the chin and

around the throat can be shaved

better by stretching the skin so

the beard will stand.

90°

• To prevent damaging the system

outer foil, do not shave with only a

part of the system outer foil.
